Established Courts of Law for Indian Reservations Recommended BOSTON Aug 2GThe fourteenth annual meeting of the American Bar association opened this forenoon nearly two hundred members were present After President Baldwin had called the assemblage to order welcome was extended to visitors by Hon John Lowell president of the Boston Bar association President Baldwin responded stating the association was pleased with the warmth of the recep tion accorded it After theo few brief remarks he proceeded to deliver his annual address The president spoke of the great diversity of matters treated by the federal and state governments Ho then reviewed the acts of Congress and of the legislatures of tho different states In speak ing of the action taken to relieve the supreme court he reviewed at some length the details of the judiciary act He paid a tribute to President Harrison in regard to the fairness and excellence of his appointments to fill the new circuit court judgeships He mentioned especially the international copyright law The speaker said within the last year the number of states which had adopted the Australian ballot system had increased to twentynine Laws relating to other important matters were gone over and the president speaking of the uniformity of legislation said five more states had appointed commissions to promote it In closing the speaker referred to the American constitution consttu tion which he said is the best fruits of a thousand years of AncloSaxon history At the close of the presidents address new members were admitted Recess was then taken At the afternoon session interesting addresses were delivered by Frederick Judson of St Louis on the individual liberty of contract under the police power and by William Hornblower of New York on Legal Status of the Indians Mr Hornblower after speaking of the complexity of jurisprudence of the United States referred to the recent decision of the United States court in South Dakota that the killing of a United States army officer by an Indian was not murder because a state of war existed between the United States and the tribe to which the Indian belonged This he said has directed public attention to the legal status of the Indian DAfer reviewing various dealings with the Indians since the formation of the United States government the speaker proceeded to review the cases in which the status of the Indian had been determined by the supreme court The right of Congress to regulate the legal status of the Indian having been fully and clearly enunciated by the court of last resort the question Is pertinent whether the time has not arrived for Congress to take such steps as will put an end at once and forever to any such rights of independence or quasi independence as will Justify any tribe or socalled nation of Indians in IfttTvlntr wnr acrninat thA TTnitnfl Qtotoa Already Congress has taken steps in the direction of denationalizing the Indians Having advanced thus far it would seem eminently proper that further steps should bo taken that Congress should pass an act subjecting all Indians within tho jurisdiction of any state or territory to tho criminal laws of those states and territories terr tories and all Indians within any Indian reservation the criminal laws of the United State and declaring that they shall not hereafter bo recognized as political communities capable of making war or as I in any respect independent However I great the wrongs of tho Indian and however real his grievance it is perfectly clear they cannot be righted by casual insurrection I is clearly time the government should assert its power and enforce the law against these wards of the nation Certainly for the Indian to bo told he may rise against the United States government and kill officers and soldiers and be exempt from all punishment either for treason or murder because he is a member of an independent or quasi independent nation wag ing war against the United States is to encourage and not deter him from future hostilities That which was once a fact has become fiction The Indian nations have become wretched remnants hanging on the outskirts of civilization or living on reservations and surrounded by civilized communities and dependent wholly or in part for support on the government Let the fiction be abolished let us enact laws suitable for the present situation and place the legal status of the Indian upon a rational and practical basis Prof Thayer presented resolutions to the effect that the government should provide at the earliest possible moment a system of courts of law for Indian reservations A committee was appointed to bring Congress the attention of the President and Insurgent Loss Near Valparaiso WASHINGTON

clergyman writes as follows to the Moscow Gazette from one of the villages in the province of Kazan I is sad to watch tie sight presented by ordinary sick person but it is far more unbearable to look on at the hungry panic stricken starving people In my parish there are individuals who have gone without bread for two and three weeks together and endeavor to nourish themselves upon grass and the leaves of the trees When they get hold of a morsel of black bread they do not eat it themselves but they give it to the children11 chidren In one village this priest says ho found sixteen people in the last stages of exhaustion from hunger and one of the women succumbed very shortly after In the village there were 143 houses but in only twenty of them were the peasants eating the usual sort of food to which they were accustomed He says thero is distress as great in the other villages of the same district and thero is a great deal of excitement among the peasantry at the prospect which they see before them Trying to Prevent the Export of lre Special to TIE HEKALD Examiner Cable ST PETERSBURG Aug 20 Further particulars regarding the attempts of peasants tn nrlunt thn vnnt nf hu in chnn lV 0 Vo that the affair was more serious than was believed Reports from Shavli state tnat a few days ago some poor Jewish workmen observed wagons containing rye which was being conveyed to the railway station for export to Liban They protested and in a few minutes the wagons were surrounded by an excited crowd and brought force to the court yard of the town hall and unloaded The crowd then rushed to the railway station to prevent the rye stored there being loaded on tne trucks The excited peasants flung themselves on the rails before the trucks On the following day fresh disorder arose on a report being spread that a large quantity of rye was expected at the railway station or lrusohani An immense crowd proceeded thither and an encounter took place between peasants accompanying the grain wagons and the excited crowd The ring leaders were arrested by the police but 300 rioters stormed the jail and liberated them The guard was called i but failed to restore order and peace was obtained only on the arrival of the Hundred and Thirteenth regiment Similar scenes occurred in Lidda in which place the crowd shouted out that they would rather eo as prisoners to Siberia than die of hunger at homo At the railway way station at Vilna the same kind of excesses prevailed and at Smorgoni the crowd behaved with like violence evidently reckless with hunger The Rush to Import Rj Into Germany Special to TIE HERALD Examiner Cable I BERLIN Aug 20 Reports from all parts I of Germany show that rye is being imported in immense quantities from Russia in order that as much as possible may be Deceived before the 27th instant for which purpose every available wagon on the frontier is being pressed into the service The Marionburg Mava line of railway is very bnsy A hundred and fifty wagon loads of rye arrived at Dantzic on Saturday The directors borrowed 200 wagons the rolling stock of the line being unequal to the demand An application was made Monday to the Dantzic police for permission II to open the corn exchange on Sunday and to work the railway station and grain warehouses on that day also The potatoe crop which will largely influence tno government in its measures

Quarrel WASHINGTON Aug 26 Lengthy letters were exchanged between the magnates ef the American association and National league today President Kramer Krmer president of tho association first wrote to the committee setting forth tho fact of Mike Kellys contractjumping while the peace conference was in session and stating that unless the league guaranteed the reo turn of said player and good faith in the negotiations the association must withdraw from the conforence The league committee replied at length From their letter it seems the demands of the association as a basis for settlement were in substance reversal of the National boards decision regarding Stovey Bee and Bierbaur all players under contract I I with the association to be subject to reservation by it the legality of the reservaton tbE legalty contract of Vicery and Shriver with Chicago to be tbe subject of discussion all players who signed two contracts to be suspended the national board as now constituted to be abolishedthe adoption of tbe new National agreement the Western association to be denied admission as the major party to such agreement that the American circuit be composed of Chicago Brooklyn Cincinnati Boston Philadelphia St Louis Baltimore Washington Columbus Louisville and Milwaukee and in case any of those clubs should resigndisband or be expelled the American association to have the right at any time to establish a club in the same cityThe The league committee say they were considering these demands when notice notce came about Kelly and respectfully submit that this same demand occupied the same status as any of the others above mentioned and is a proper subject for discussion The league representatives would therefore remain in readiness for confer I ence on the points at issue until this evening The association men made a lengthy reply discussing the demands of each organization and asserting the league committee had broken faith with them in their promise of peace They say the idea of getting rid of the Western league was brought out the estion ot the league I at suggestion 01 committee and concurred in by the association dole gates As regards the circuit they only ask in addition to what they have now permission to locate clubs in Brooklyn and Chicago giving the league permission to locate clubs in Baltimore and St Louis Further that the league committee in the letter omitted to state two of the leagues propositions one of which was a plan for reducing the salaries oj pfoyergjn i vyhjich tbjy ted I the associations concurrence and the I other that the league merely wanted them Ito forget and forgive admitted wrongs done the association but that the latter must not expect any restitution In conclusion the association committee express a willingness lingness to meet the league half way in a settlement of difficulties but us the matter now looks the for further prospects a conference are poor Representatives of the American association accepted the resignation of President Kramer to take effect September 1 and elected Zach Phelps of the Louisville club as his successor They Dont Need Kelly BOSTON Aug 2GThe directors of the American ball club

Them Have Been Published His Historical Remlnlsences are Give In Anecdote FormThe Ultimatum to the King of Saxony in 1865 Specialto THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch 1 NEW YORK Aug 26 Prince Bismarck has partly written his intended book and a synopsis of five chapters is printed in tho I Paris papers These chapters relate almost exclusively to his embassy in France Ito his mission in Russia in 1SC6 to the Berlin congress and to his retirement from work As far as can be judged his historical reminiscences will be given in anecdote form and he discusses politics and relates events only when he is directly concerned in them The anecdotes are related with his characteristic liveliness and are made exceedingly interesting andrea able In regard to the war of I860 he gives the following curious details Before Prussia declared war against Austria she was anxious to ascertain the temper of Saxony and for this purpose sounded her leading men The King of Saxony was a close friend of the Austrian Emperor yet not wishing to oppose his aggressive and powerful neighbor he declared that he was neutral and intended so to remain But this was not enough for Prussia That state argued that Saxony might at any moment offer her hand to Austria and to Bavaria which latter was in itself quite inclined to join Austria Saxon vs neutrality made the King of Prussia hesitate and his already powerful minister Bismarck did not venture on uttering the decisive word although the declaration of war was already drawn up Count Beust knew this and strongly encouraged his master the Emperor of Austria to resist Your majesty said he to the King of Saxony cannot go any further The Austrian Emperor may already blame your neutrality as weak and selfish but to go farther would be worse I scarcely dare say it but anybody else in my place would say it it would be treason Very good replied the King of Saxony I will yield only to force Prince Bismarck then tells how King William by a painful effort out upon being shown that tho very existence of his dynasty and his country was at stake was induced to send the King of Saxony an ultimatum to tho effect that Prussia was not content with neutrality that the importance of the geographical situation of Saxony made neutrality resemble hostility and the uncertainty would hamper Prus sias movements and indepenpence of action The King says Bismarck when wo had drawn up and sent off this ultimatum wept at the thought of the chagrin it would cause the King of Saxony and I feeling tears escaping from my eyes bent over my masters hand and kissed it wetting it with tears The President Leaves St Albans ST ALBASS Vt Aug 26 President Harrison left here this merning in a special train for Montpelier He will be joined at Essex by Secretary Proctor and others
